ZCS 8.5

Hello,I try to use the birthday reminder zimlet on ZCS 8.5. I have included the various patches posted on here. The zimlet can be installed, can be started, starts scanning the adress book, shows all found contacts. After pushing the button to create the reminders the new calendar folder is set up, the script keeps telling it creates reminder but there are no reminders created.Do you have similar experiences? Any ideas?Thanks,Peter

Works well, but the date is interpreted incorrectly (2nd)

Hello,I have the same issue as Simonalane.I correct the "bug" with the following change in birthdayreminder.jsdiff -e ../birthdayreminder.js.ori birthdayreminder.js488c var normalizedBD = this._normalizeDate(tmparry[1], tmparry[2], tmparry[0]);.347c var birthday = this._normalizeDate(tmparry[1], tmparry[2], tmparry[0]);.After this change and new installation, the zimlet work fine on my 7.1.4_GA_2555.RHEL5_64Best Regard and many thanksDan

Works well, but the date is interpreted incorrectly.

I installed this zimlet, and it seems to work well. All the birthdays are gathered and entered into a calendar. The only problem is that it interprets UK dates in the US format. This means that dd/mm/yyyy is interpreted as mm/dd/yyyy. A birthday that occurs on 12th April therefore occurs on 4th December etc.Also, is it possible to collect birthdays from shared calendars? I couldn't see how to make that happen.
